Under "/Library/Managed Preferences/<USERID>" I have a plist for com.apple.systemuiserver that is setting restrictions on removable media (making it read only). I did have a Configuration Profile scoped to all computers, but excluded for my user ID, so i figured that was it and i mis-scoped it. But after removing the jamf framework from my system, manually deleting that plist, and validating that the "Profiles" section under system preferences is now gone i'm still seeing that plist recreated after reboots. I thought it could be something with Centrify since I had that installed, but I uninstalled that as well and rebooted.



Are there any recommendations for troubleshooting this so I can identify why that plist continues to get recreated? I did notice a "complete.plist" in that folder as well which had a "source" attribute listing "mcx_user_<USERID>_<long string>", but unsure how to use that

Thanks for the links, i wasn't even sure what to search on for this. Any idea why this happens? Shouldn't the JAMF agent clear it from the system once the profile is out of scope? Or is it an apple bug?
